How weird is that interview going to be? "I see here under your accomplishments section that you have a Tony Award. Do you think you might be overqualified for this position?"

The answers would be even more awkward.

"Well, as a Tony award-winner, I feel that my experience lifting and carrying heavy objects short distances is a valuable asset for this position..."

She should answer, "Um....yes. But I'm willing to overlook that to get this position."

Actually, the interviewer's question may be "Who was Tony, and why did you get his award?"
